Wheatley Valley

Shroggs Road reclaimed landfill yesterday morning turned up 2 Jays, 1 singing Willow Warbler and 2 singing Chiffchaff. Three Long-tailed Tits were nest building and nearby on the slopes of Shroggs Park a pair of Chiffchaff were busy nest building and a male Blackcap singing. Two more Long-tailed Tits dashed into a very dense and prickly Berberis wilsoniae just escaping the clutches of a male Sparrowhawk.
